ENI CBC MED thematic clusters

Completed
Labelled projects

Context and objectives

The ENI CBC “Mediterranean Sea Basin Programme” is the largest Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) initiative implemented by the EU under the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI).

 The Programme brings together the coastal territories of 14 countries to fund innovative, inclusive and sustainable development cooperation on both sides of the Mediterranean. Projects will be grouped into 4 thematic clusters: business and SMEs development; technological transfer and innovation; social inclusion and fight against poverty; environment and climate change.

The UfM and the ENI CBC Med Managing Authority signed a Memorandum of Understanding and agreed a Joint Action Plan in April 2019, to strengthen partnership and cooperation in addressing shared challenges.

The main objectives are to support knowledge exchange and management among ENI CBC Med-funded projects based on overlap with UfM main policy orientations and ongoing initiatives, as well as to promote key project outputs and good practices with decision-makers at local, national and regional level in order to support evidence-based policy-making.

Transnational events will be organized to promote dialogue between institutional actors in the EU-MED area, as well as to attract stakeholders within the community of each thematic cluster. Results-orientated monitoring of funded projects will be undertaken, to improve performance and strengthen outcomes, as well as mid-term evaluation of selected projects, mid-term conferences on achieved results and perspectives, and dedicated events for selected follow-up involving key decision makers.

Finally, the project will be evaluated through a report on achieved results based on the performance framework set by the ENI CBC Med Programme and through the analysis of ENI CBC Med projects that could be potentially labelled and supported by the UfM.
